{"product_id":"tomatin-five-virtues-earth","title":"Tomatin Five Virtues - The Earth Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince 1897 Tomatin has been combining soft mountain water with tender local barley, introducing it to tall copper stills and - following years of maturation in oak casks - collecting the mellow, fruity spirit. Approaching alchemy, the process reveals nature’s extraordinary elements in all their glory. Indeed - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water - elements central to civilisation’s most ancient philosophies, enjoy incredible synergies. Combined, they produce outcomes far greater than their sum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis symbiosis - the ‘Five Virtues’ - is a concept synonymous with the age-old processes and materials employed by Tomatin's distillery men. Water feeds wood; wood sustains fire; fire gives life to earth; earth yields metal; metal gathers water; and the cycle continues…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo celebrate the Five Virtues, Tomatin has produced five unique expressions - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe third virtue, Earth, is exemplified in an edition rich in intense and - unusually for Tomatin - peaty flavours. A consequence of maturing whisky made with peat-dried malted barley in refill Hogshead casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTomatin only distill peated malt during the last two weeks of every year and it is never released under the Tomatin brand. This is truly a unique expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn intriguing mix of vanilla, burning heather and black fruits with sweet, light smoke. Unlike any other Tomatin, it has a salty smokiness with a complex and ever-changing finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tomatin Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46489931382863,"sku":"WC0179","price":125.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/1185\/7487\/files\/tomatin-five-virtues-earth-wc0179.png?v=1787701114","url":"https:\/\/thewhiskyclub.com.au\/products\/tomatin-five-virtues-earth","provider":"The Whisky Club AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
